So according to Russia, NATO attacked an Australian girl in Mariupol, upsetting an Italian artist. How very diverse.

There’s a special place in hell reserved for grandparents who don’t recognize their grandchildren.

As a grandparent, you get all the benefits of a child with zero drawbacks. Nobody expects anything from you. You don’t have to wake up at 3 am with a gasp because there’s a child standing very close to your face and breathing on you noisily. You don’t have to pack endless lunch boxes or pick up small objects for an hour each day. And you don’t have to be brought to the brink of a heart attack once a week by performing the terrible feat of nail-trimming.

No, as a grandparent you are long past all that. All you have to do is smile beatifically and be adored. And still some perverse individuals weasel out of it.

And no, I’m not talking about Biden. I’m talking about the much more egregious case of my own child’s grandmother. And it’s much more egregious because A) I’m not a drug-addled prostitute and B) she has no other grandchildren.

We are supposed to be a town of 26,000 but it’s always the same people at every event. It’s like a small traveling circus of around 150 people moving from one venue to another. We could be a village of 150, for all intents and purposes.

Spain’s ruling coalition of socialists and the far left is set to be trounced in the coming election. Not that the Spanish right is all that much better, but the left deserves a major trouncing for overseeing a massive destruction of working rights while distracting people with every gender lunacy in existence.

We, the voters, should exact swift, painful punishment on every politician and party – EVERY ONE – that mentions gender or race in any context before delivering something very important on the economy. Whether they are for or against, they should shut up about it and work on making it easier for people to get good housing, make savings, prepare for retirement, get stable jobs, and feel financially secure.

The gender and race blabber on both sides are a con trick. We need to start demanding more.

I’m not surprised. Readers aren’t created in college. They are created at home long before anybody reaches college age.

It’s getting harder to raise readers because reading requires a capacity for deep focus. We need to put in daily work to protect and develop our children’s capacity to focus. Not only does it ensure a much better quality of life, it’s also going to be the highest paid skill on the job market because it will be rare.

Russia: We’re going to kill you all.
Ukraine: We’re going to stop you.
Idiots: You guys should meet halfway.

The Aveeno Eczema Therapy cured the eczema that tortured me for years. I’d tried everything, cheap, expensive, experimental, herbal, medicated, home remedies, ancient wisdom – nothing worked. I’m spreading the news in case there are sufferers who don’t know this wonderful cream exists.

Everything has to be curated, people. Everything. We took the kids to a children’s musical on campus and discovered that two of the lead adult female roles were played by men. There was so much spreading of legs and throwing up of thighs while wearing skimpy shorts that I was permanently on edge that a stray body part was about to fall out.

It’s tiresome always have to be on the alert about this stuff.

That’s my covetous look as I ogle the coffee maker. Happy Sunday morning, everybody!

Finally, somebody explained it well:
